This season, however, we decided to take it up a notch by cooking up our own special treats for our community! Ten grand prize winners will receive all of the following: a box set of Throne of the Tides, two class starter decks, two packs of Headless Horseman sleeves, and a loot code. Ten follow-up winners will receive: two class starter decks, two packs of Headless Horseman sleeves, and a loot code. Finally, ten second prize winners will receive a loot code of their very own to take home.

The best part? All you have to do to enter to win is comment on this post answering the following question...

What is your favorite holiday in World of Warcraft and why?

We will be picking winners on November 2nd at 12:00PM PST, so you have until then to leave your comment to be considered.

Rules:

The contest is open to anyone--yes, international entries can win!

Comments on Twitter and Facebook do not enter you to win. The comment must be in this post at Wowhead.

We reserve the right to disqualify any entry; we'll notice duplicate entries and/or fake accounts.

We've been listening to you guys asking for a contest that's not just determined by a roll of the dice: fifteen of these prizes (five for each tier) will be randomly drawn, while fifteen more will go to entries that catch our fancy. So the more effort you put into your response, the greater your odds of winning are!

Hallow's End, because honestly holloween is the best holiday. Everyones in costumes, eating candy, and playing tricks on eachother! LOTS of achievements, and for all those people saying brewfest, i say no. Because the people in chat going ...hic...hic..hic are like that kid who has one beer and starts slurring his speach and falling everyware, its annoying =] If it wasnt for those people, i'd consider brewfest as #1

Brewfest is my favorite because I enjoy celebrating along in real life as I play in the World of Warcraft. :-) I can drink my Dwarf Shammy under the table. :-)

I would have to say Hallow's End. The mystic atmosphere is just wonderful and all the lovely events are terrific!

Hallow's End is my absolute favourite WoW holiday!I live in Australia and we don't celebrate Halloween over here like they do in America. I never got to go trick or treating when I was a kid, no-one ever had any candy on Halloween!(And I had plenty of candy ready here for Halloween this year and only had a few kids at the door!)So trick or treating in Azeroth is a real treat for me! I love opening up my bag and seeing if I got another Sinister Squashling, and flying around on my instant mount broomstick!Mostly, I love seeing everyone's enthusiasm across the other side of the world during a holiday Aussies don't really celebrate!

Midsummer Fire Festival; I have the fondest memories of running around with my old main to find every single fire in each zone. And this was sometime during the Burning Crusade, so it took quite a while. I can't think of any real reason why I decided to run instead of talking to them flight masters, but I think I did find them all in the end.

I don't really have a favorite holiday because I like them all. Keeps the game from getting old and boring.

Hallow's End is far and away my favorite holiday almost solely due to the insta-cast broom mounts; they're a godsend.

Winter Veil. I love all the new toys every year and the fun of talking to other "old" players and comparing gifts to see who has been here since the beginning!

Lunar festival, I love the lore surrounding the creation of the Druids, and thus surrounding the Moonglade, and a holiday that focuses on Moonglade is amazing to me.

My favorite holiday is totally Pirates' Day. It's not all... what's the word... commercialized? None of this 'run around grinding tokens for achievements' thing. Just pirates.
